It is a fairly broad question to ask how people obtained these mental illnesses. There are a multitude of reasons. It is rather hard to determine internal causes in comparison to the environmental factories. Much of that is speculation on terms of the therapist. However whatever internal causes that have been discovered so far are critical towards finding more about how mental illness occurs. For example, autism has low brain growth and connectivity in the channels of the brain. Depression has a certain region of the brain more active than others. However scientists are still unsure about how it works. Only continued exploration will give light to more answers (“The Roots of Mental Illness”). However it is mentioned that depression is related

However other factors such as environment can also be a major influence when dealing with mental illness. Environmental factors are what occurs around the person having the mental illness and how it triggers them to react in certain ways. For example, a male who has anorexia may have low self-esteem because of certain triggers when he heads to the gym and sees all these fit males. A child whose parents are filing a divorce may feel depression and be in a very sullen mood. Loss of a family member is another example for depression. Trauma, neglect, broken family ties, and expectations of society are all other environmental factors; these all effect the person although they are part of the environment they are in (“Causes of Mental Illness”). This however, gives the idea that the person put themselves in a situation in order to feel sorry for themselves. Society is cruel to people like that- denying them the right to feel emotion because of that assumption. It needs to be a reminder that people with mental illness do not put themselves in a situation purposefully and that they too cannot escape a certain environment or cure themselves from a biological mental illness so …show more content…
Mental illness is not something to be easily cured, after all there is always the risk of relapse. Sometimes it will never go away and the person will live their life with the illness till the day they die. There are only temporary solutions such as medication and therapy. Medical facilities are more for the long term; however they are not the best solution considering the many issues that underlie the system. In recent cases of mental facility deaths in Florida nobody is allowed to determine cause of death for the patient in the name of patient privacy. This gives protection to government officers who neglect and abuse their patients. Law were even created to protect the identity of the abused which also included the abuser’s name. These laws are used which make it harder to get information on inadequate employees. Even parents are denied to look into the case because of the patient privacy law. Since 2009, fifty five people have died under the care of Florida Mental Institution. Files on investigated cases are kept tightly hidden away in Florida. The only access the public has of them are brief descriptions of the cause of death which is assumed to be incorrect in many cases. The abusers somehow are always protected under the law. Even in cases where the abusive caretaker gives themselves up, the government is not willing to
